Surgeon General's Article: Content
This article represents over four years of painstaking research and insight into the trends in youth violence. Compiled and poured over the surgeon general, this portal gives links to the most recent and insightful information garnered by some of the world’s top scientists and experts in this field of study. Everything from school violence to gang violence to sex crimes committed by minors is discussed, accompanied by extremely useful and accurate graphs, maps, charts, and case studies. There is almost absolutely nothing not covered by the paper in terms of youth violence. All points of inquiry are, at a very minimum, given a paragraph or two and these are usually the most esoteric topics relating to this broader scale. Published in 2001 by the Bush administration, this document still represents the newest and most extensive research conducted in this field. When this compendium was first announced to the public, it was met with skepticism and ridicule, due to the fact that youth violence, at the time, was not seen as a quantified increase, until this was published.This article has been cited for his historical value and the change that it brought.
Bias
This source is undoubtedly one of the best available for researching a resurgence in youth crime and delinquency and it manages to do this all while keeping a fairly neutral basis. The paper does not skew itself to one perspective over the other; it simply presents itself with logic and with a straightforward delivery.
APA Article: This source represents some of the newer, validated research done in the fields of youth violence. What separates this source from the others is the stance it takes on stopping adolescent crime. From a psychological perspective, youth violence can be easily stopped; one simply needs to recognize the warning signs in friends, peers, and even their own children. The article examines possible causes of this, such as the need for power, the desire to control and manipulate, neglect, or easy access to weapons. This article demonstrates absolutely no bias and presents it from a purely analytical point of view.
AAFP Article: This electronic column spoke in length about the increase in gang violence and the age in which many urban youths join an organized gang. The article presented some bias, as the article is geared towards worried parents and it did play to their emotions a little too much, interfering with the succinct nature of the information. Other then that, warning signs were mentioned, as well as the most recent (at the time) stats on gang violence and youth crime.
CDC Article:
This resource simply states the newest data that has been validated in the field of youth violence. There is no bias, as the facts are tersely and blankly stated and the source itself is extremely credible, being not only a government funded study, but a world renowned one, at that. These facts, simply stated are the best and newest available to the public audience.
NYVP Article:
This website is entirely dedicated to reporting the facts regarding school violence, whether it is bullying, gangs at school, or school related homicides. Although some bias does shine through, the article relating to bullying (which is the topic of this citation) still managed to report the facts about bullying at school.
